Anleihen: USA begeben Staatsanleihen zu höchster Emissionsrendite seit Finanzkrise 2007

Geopolitische Spannungen und die hohe Inflation setzen langlaufende Staatsanleihen unter Druck. Die Renditen für die zehnjährigen Papiere sind so hoch wie seit der Finanzkrise nicht mehr.

Anleihen: USA begeben Staatsanleihen zu höchster Emissionsrendite seit Finanzkrise 2007

On Wednesday, the United States issued ten-year Treasury bonds with the highest yield on benchmark securities since the 2007 financial crisis. This was due to investors demanding higher compensation to finance the US government. The yield for the $42 billion issuance was 4.683 percent, the highest since the benchmark's inception.

It was just above the secondary market level before the bidding deadline at 1 PM in New York, indicating demand slightly below expectations. Most US Treasury bonds had yields near the previous day's levels at market close. Thursday's focus is a 30-year auction, which could set a record financing rate in a quarter-century. Rising inflation above the Federal Reserve's target and growing budget deficits are contributing to higher yields on long-term bonds.

Gregory Faranello, head of US bond trading at AmeriVet Securities, noted that with enormous deficits, strong growth, war, and inflation above the Fed's target, it is hard to imagine yields falling.
